Social and Community Participation

At AIVA Healthcare, our Social and Community Participation services are designed to support NDIS participants in building meaningful connections, developing skills, and engaging actively in their communities. We provide individualised support to assist with social inclusion, recreational activities, education, volunteering, and community access. Whether the goal is to increase independence, reduce isolation, or enhance daily living skills, our trained support workers provide safe, person-centred assistance that aligns with each participant’s NDIS goals and overall wellbeing.

Social and Community Participation

Empowering Independence, Connection, and Community Engagement
